SMB Connection Resolve to AD, Point to User Share
I've got an unusual problem that deals with connecting via SMB under Snow Leopard, to a directory share with over 1,000 users. When I connect to the main directory share, the next level reveals 1,000 users, but I'd like to have the connection identify me as a registered user in AD at the time of authentication into the SMB connection, point to my specifically created share (or username, in this case), then only open that share (my share).

I'll give you an example of the pref script:

sudo cp smb://homebusiness.mine.com.inetloc "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Favorites"

What I don't want, is for any user to authenticate via SMB, and have to filter through 1,000 users to find their specific share. I'd like to write it into a pref script such as I've done above and copy it into terminal, and write the path into the server favorites when a user logs in on any machine.

smbtar

SMBTAR(1)							   User Commands							 SMBTAR(1)

NAME

       smbtar - shell script for backing up SMB/CIFS shares directly to UNIX tape drives

SYNOPSIS

       smbtar [-r] [-i] [-a] [-v] {-s server} [-p password] [-x services] [-X] [-N filename] [-b blocksize] [-d directory] [-l loglevel] [-u user]
	[-t tape] {filenames}

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

       smbtar is a very small shell script on top of smbclient(1) which dumps SMB shares directly to tape.

OPTIONS

       -s server
	   The SMB/CIFS server that the share resides upon.

       -x service
	   The share name on the server to connect to. The default is "backup".

       -X
	   Exclude mode. Exclude filenames... from tar create or restore.

       -d directory
	   Change to initial directory before restoring / backing up files.

       -v
	   Verbose mode.

       -p password
	   The password to use to access a share. Default: none

       -u user
	   The user id to connect as. Default: UNIX login name.

       -a
	   Reset DOS archive bit mode to indicate file has been archived.

       -t tape
	   Tape device. May be regular file or tape device. Default: $TAPE environmental variable; if not set, a file called tar.out .

       -b blocksize
	   Blocking factor. Defaults to 20. See tar(1) for a fuller explanation.

       -N filename
	   Backup only files newer than filename. Could be used (for example) on a log file to implement incremental backups.

       -i
	   Incremental mode; tar files are only backed up if they have the archive bit set. The archive bit is reset after each file is read.

       -r
	   Restore. Files are restored to the share from the tar file.

       -l log level
	   Log (debug) level. Corresponds to the -d flag of smbclient(1).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The $TAPE variable specifies the default tape device to write to. May be overridden with the -t option.

BUGS

       The smbtar script has different options from ordinary tar and from smbclient's tar command.

CAVEATS

       Sites that are more careful about security may not like the way the script handles PC passwords. Backup and restore work on entire shares;
       should work on file lists. smbtar works best with GNU tar and may not work well with other versions.

DIAGNOSTICS

       See the DIAGNOSTICS section for the smbclient(1) command.

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

       Ricky Poulten wrote the tar extension and this man page. The smbtar script was heavily rewritten and improved by Martin Kraemer. Many
       thanks to everyone who suggested extensions, improvements, bug fixes, etc. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
       excellent piece of Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2.0 release by Jeremy
       Allison. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by
       Alexander Bokovoy.
